edit: this comment was about the R36H when it was first in this post.

And what about the R36XX, any thoughts there? Same vendor and appears to be cheaper than the R36S but (allegedly) an upgrade vs the "S." Hard to keep up with all of these handhelds. I think the main difference is the of wifi.

No problem!
I don't have any hands-on experience with the R36XX, but it looks like it has the same RK3326 chipset as both the R36S and H, so I'd expect the same performance (i.e. also less that the Mini Zero 28).
Seems like the R36XX may just be a slight upgrade to the R36S that includes built-in Wi-Fi if someone would be interested in having that feature
Any time
I picked up an R36H a few months back because of the cost; even though I have several more powerful devices . I keep it on the coffee table for when my youngest niece comes to visit w/ her parents and she wants to play the Donkey Kong Country games.

[IMG]https://static.slickdealscdn.com/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG] Thanks, I sincerely appreciate that. I'm also very much into this hobby. I owe a lot of what I've learned about it over the last two years to the members here and community on YouTube.I picked up an R36H a few months back because of the cost; even though I have several more powerful devices .

P.S. We can tell you truly know your stuff (and care) in the threads you participate in!
There is probably some near identical variant with that layout. The RG35XXH has it, but it's a bit pricier.

Your experience largely mirrors my own. I set up my Steam Deck to emulate everything up to PS2 and GameCube (alongside all of the Steam games I installed, of course); and yet I find myself reaching for these devices much more often than any other gaming hardware I own. There's just a certain level of convenience and comfort in knowing your handheld "only" ran you maybe $30 - $50 (but it can still do so much); whereas I find I hold my Steam Deck and Switch the same way I would a fragile carton of eggs, making it a bit tougher to enjoy while playing (because I worry about accidentally dropping them in the back of my mind)
I truly hope the R36XX meets your needs as far as finding a decent one with a 3.5" display (those 2.8" screens can be tough for games with a lot of text, like RPGs).

P.S. Even with the Miyoo, many people ditch the stock OS within seconds of unboxing them.
